Accuweather expands tropical and hurricane info

AccuWeather has announced expanded data and integrated forecast tools for its CinemaLive HD graphics system, including a comprehensive set of tropical data.

“Tropical storms and hurricanes are both a forecasting challenge for the locations affected and a nationwide news opportunity. We’ve architected the new data set to address both requirements,” stated Ryan Ayres, executive director of TV products and operations, in a statement.

“The new feed has readyto- air graphics and data to support in-depth hurricane news segments. And we have worked extensively with chief meteorologists in hurricane-prone areas to meet their needs for an exhaustive body of accurate data that could also be quickly and easily referenced and incorporated into their weather forecasts and broadcast segments.”

CinemaLive HD is the only graphics display system to deliver near real-time data from the National Hurricane Center and NOAA “Hurricane Hunter” aircraft reconnaissance missions. All data is reviewed by AccuWeather’s proprietary algorithms to ensure its quality and integrity.
